The best restaurants serving British food in South Hams South West

Emma provided a FABULOUS spread for 120 people following a funeral at Stoke Gabriel church. Everyone was catered for and the food was exceptional, most notably the crab cakes, samosas and scones, with jam and cream of course. Aunt and uncle have lived in the village for more than 50 years and have dined at Emma’s many times, always speaking MOST highly of the restaurant, food and Emma herself. Thank you!

We were there celebrating a friend’s birthday. Service was great, food was so good and a great atmosphere. Tried food I wouldn’t normally try and thoroughly enjoyed every dish. So much food that I was full to the brim. If I’d been charged twice what I was I wouldn’t have complained. Too busy eating to take photos so you’ll have to go skiing to see what it’s like. You will not regret eating in this restaurant, it was an amazing experience!

We’ve eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. It’s a great unspoiled country pub with friendly owners. The menu has a good variety to choose from, portions are generous and everything is reasonably priced. The service is great and nothing is too much trouble. The Sunday menu is also excellent. Thoroughly recommended. We’ll be back!

There's so much on offer - everything is top quality and there's a massive variety of different foods. We shop there instead of supermarkets and particularly love the hand-crafted sourdough and the organically grown vegetables and fruit. You can also get freshly made-to-order sandwiches and fabulous coffee. Then there's the deli-counter - so much to choose from and everything at its peak quality and freshness. Store cupboard and dried foods, herbs, spices, great coffees, local dairy produce. The owner is just delightful and unstinting in his excellent customer service.

Great wagyu burgers whatever the time of day! Fantastic friendly service by someone so enthusiastic about burgers. Not normally a burger fan but these... other worldly. I am yet to try the Halloumi burgers but I'm sure they are also awesome.

Just had a delivery of smeatons smokehouse half rack of ribs and a big apple burger with extra cheddar and bacon !! Absolutely amazing !! The meat of the ribs just fell off the bone 🤤🤤

One of our favourite local cafes. We love to walk over from Jennycliff and stop for a coffee and sometimes lunch. The food is always amazing and the staff are always super friendly and welcoming - even when rushed off their feet. Pleasing vegan options. Great to sit outside when the weather is nice but also lovely in the winter inside.

After much cajoling and bribery involving a bacon roll , I convinced my older wife we should head out on the coastal path. She is not a big fan of such endeavours with knees that have befuddled the finest NHS consultants. But after much moaning,groaning and gnashing of false teeth we made it to this farming idyll. Lovely cake and cans of pop assuaged her whining. We set back off recharged and although we stopped constantly for clothing alterations and nose blowing (honk honk ) we returned to the streets of salcombe in triumph. I would encourage all of you with older partners to push them (not literally) to test themselves and rage against ageing. We are the proof it works and now she has earned her tea which I will pay for .

What a fabulous find! Lovely to sit outside in a peaceful environment, the best coffee I have tasted in a very long time and friendly and efficient staff...thank you! #supportingsmallbusinesses

top 5 burgers I've ever had hand on heart

Be aware: We were staying in a accommodation that had overbooked, which meant that we had to leave one day earlier than expected. We had no alternative but to drive home - we couldn't just hang around Dartmouth with nowhere to stay. We gave Taylors as much notice of cancellation as we got of having to leave, but Taylors charged us £40 for the cancellation. It was half-term week and every other restaurant we had been to prior to this had been fully booked - signage outside - so I would imagine that our table for 2 would have been filled. It just sticks in the craw getting punished for something completely beyond your control. In answer to your response: There is no point discussing it because there hasn't been a misunderstanding. Its not like we didn't show up. We gave you as much written notice as we had, when we were suddenly told to vacate our double-booked accommodation. I just wanted to bring to potential customers attention that if: They might be involved in a car accident OR One of their group might fall ill OR Weather issues might cause transport issues OR like us, we had to depart our accommodation unexpectedly because it had been double booked, THEN, they will forfeit a minimum of £40 - for 2 persons (more for a bigger party). This is just a warning that if a life event happens, and don't they just happen at the most inopportune times, then they are going to be gifting you £40 minimum to keep the Range Rovers purring over. This really spoilt a lovely break to say 'goodbye' to Dartmouth as a result of stage 4 metastatic bowel to lung cancer. Rockfish was great. Bayards Cove Inn was great. The highlight restaurant fined and punished us. I wish you all the success you deserve.

Best meal we've had in ages, and some of the best chips potentially ever. Highly recommend for meat eaters and veggies

A real caring customer focussed time was had. Lovely food, breakfast and evening meal. I will be going back when in Devon again.

We arrived in Dartmouth for a weeks holiday and after reading the reviews thought Bushell’s Upper Deck sounded great so we walked down to give it a go. It’s a pop up restaurant and it was its last night of the summer. They welcomed us, explained as it was their last night there was a limited menu. We had a super meal, starters of squid and garlic flatbread, followed by seafood risotto and American pizza, finished off with tiramisu and ice cream. Fabulous food, great service, very friendly and welcoming and fabulous views. We certainly struck lucky! Thank you!

Wonderful family hotel. The staff were all excellent & the Hotel & location is perfect 🤩
